I hope Mr SAs sleepiness is nothing sinister.

Another sending good wishes for Mr SA - your awareness could give him an advantage because many people wouldn't know his sleepiness could be significant. I remember you mentioned this the other day, too. Are you going to mention it to his consultant. Of course, it could be an infection or something else though.
I haven't seen the spray thing at L1dl but it could be useful. I wonder if our branch has any in?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

It's good that you are keeping an eye on MrSA.
have a nice bank holiday weekend2 -
Thank you all. He’s not as sleepy today, we’ve been out this morning and this afternoon DS and the GKs visited, so he hasn’t had time for a nap. If I was worried he has an open appointment with the consultant and I can call them if need be. He’ll never be officially discharged despite being clear for almost 12 years.We went to the big Mr T this morning. I bought a few things we won’t need until next week as there’s plenty left in the food budget and it will give me a head start on the next budget period.DS and the GKs have been and gone. It’s DGS’s birthday on Monday, I just put some money in his card because he’s no idea what he wants. I hardly see them when they visit as they just want to be gaming with DD.@Cherryfudge the garden pressure sprayer was last week’s middle aisle special but they had loads left yesterday. I’ve had a go with it today and can confirm it’s brilliant. Mr SA even cleaned his scooter with it. They’re just £19.99 so worth it if you can find one.Tonight’s dinner is beetroot burger with wedges and salad. Rosé Prosecco is in the fridge chilling.Mr SA is pestering for a new pair of crocs and wants to go to the little local-ish town for some this weekend. I really don’t feel like traipsing anywhere this weekend as it takes such a big chunk out of the day and I’ve got loads to do. I’ve done so much walking over the last week or so, I just want to potter around and get jobs done. My legs are like solid rock, you can knock on them and nothing moves! He’s like a toddler when he wants something, he wants some crocs and he wants them now, he won’t stop going on about them until he gets some 😖I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Tell him you've checked and they've sold out & that you're on a list for when they get more stock.

I’m currently toying with the idea of going to Ibiza for 3 nights at the beginning of September (or maybe a week 🤣). Depends on DD getting time off work and whatever date comes up for her gall bladder op, she’s on the waiting list, was told around 6 months a couple of months ago. I feel I didn’t enjoy the Lanzarote holiday as much as I wanted to as I was worrying about the dog’s op. I’m more confident about leaving the dog now she’s back to normal. We already have €150 for spending money leftover from Lanzarote so if we went for 3 nights we wouldn’t need much more. Also a friend tagged me from Cafe Mambo on FB and it set me off so it’s her fault 😆 Something to consider anyway.In productive news Mr SA finally found the charger for the hedge trimmer battery 🥳 He’s been looking for it for weeks.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
